The old United Furniture plant in Lexington, N.C., was partially destroyed in a Monday morning fire, according to a report from the Lexington Dispatch.

The fire, which started around 5 a.m. Monday, was under control by early afternoon.

And investigation will likely begin Tuesday.

"We haven't started the investigation yet," Lexington Fire Chief Thad Dickerson said in the Monday report. "We're waiting until we get it cleared out--that way we'll get a chance to look at it. It's too early to tell where it started from or a particular area or origin."

The former furniture manufacturing operation ended in 1984.
